He said,”The Conservation Officer told me ,’The Council recognised that the building has some local heritage value and as a result we have discussed the implication of the current planning application for its demolition with the case officer Nick Hulland in this context. As a result I can advise that he will now be treating it as an undesignated Heritage Asset within the current proposals and recommending that that the developer amend their proposals in order to retain the building within the their proposed scheme. This is an approach which has been achieved recently elsewhere in Cheshire East at Kents Green in Haslington and in Tytherington.’(See below)

This view of the Council is not referred to at all in the Committee recommendation and I have asked how this has come about. (See below)

I will be making my views known to the Committee in an effort to save one of the few historic buildings in Willaston. If they can be saved in Tytherington, near Macclesfield they can be saved in Willaston too.”
